Energy efficiency has become one of the most important priorities in the built environment. Rising energy costs, stricter environmental regulations and increasing awareness of climate change are driving homeowners, developers and building professionals to rethink how heating systems are designed and operated. Fortunately, improving energy efficiency does not mean sacrificing comfort. With the right combination of technology, controls and system design, buildings can achieve both optimal indoor comfort and significantly lower energy consumption.
The role of heating systems in energy efficiency Heating accounts for a significant proportion of a building’s energy use, therefore optimising the efficiency of the heating system offers one of the most effective ways to reduce not only energy costs, but also carbon emissions. Modern heating solutions increasingly
focus on low-temperature systems and renewable energy technologies. Heat pumps, for example, use renewable energy sources and can generate several units of heat from just one unit of
electricity. Under ideal conditions, heat pumps can produce 3-5kWh of thermal energy from 1kWh of electricity, making them highly efficient compared with conventional systems. However, the efficiency of a heating
system not only depends on the heat source but also relies heavily on the components that distribute and emit the heat. Radiators, underfloor heating, fan convectors and/or other emitters must be correctly matched with the heat source to ensure optimal performance and energy savings.
Low-temperature heating: A key to efficiency Low-temperature heating systems operate with reduced flow temperatures, which lowers heat losses in distribution systems and improves the efficiency of condensing boilers and heat pumps. Modern radiators designed for low-temperature operation can maintain comfort while significantly reducing energy consumption. Myson is one of few manufacturers
to offer both underfloor heating and radiators, and they believe that a combined heating system offers a more
complete solution with many advantages. For example, flexibility, energy efficiency, a tailored heating solution for any space. Myson can even offer solutions for
flow temperatures below 45°C, with a fan-assisted radiator and intelligent fan convector, which has both heating and cooling capability. For energy efficiency, as well as thermal efficiency, it’s important that the heat emitters are dimensioned correctly. They need to generate sufficient heat output for the space, but without overheating, both of which can increase energy consumption if the emitters are not sized appropriately.

Electric radiators for energy-efficient apartments Electric radiators can complement hydronic systems or operate as a standalone heating solution, converting every watt of electricity into usable heat. Myson’s modern electric radiators in
horizontal, vertical and designer models, offer flexible options for apartments and
